The recent announcement of plans to open a
representative office in Hong Kong during the first quarter of 2016
rounded off a particularly active 2015 for Guernsey's financial
services sector, explains Guernsey Finance's chief executive
Dominic Wheatley.
The Hong Kong office to be located at Three Pacific Place in
Admiralty is Guernsey Finance's second overseas outpost, in
addition to our Shanghai office which opened in 2008. It is ideally
situated at the heart of Hong Kong's finance district and will
further enhance our developing relationship with Hong Kong and its
business community.
Our China representative, Wendy Weng, who is based in Shanghai,
will use the office as a base from which to carry out further
promotional activities concentrated on the wider South East Asia
market, while it will also be utilised by the Guernsey Financial
Services Commission (GFSC) to provide regulatory advice to those in
the region who might be considering Guernsey-specific ventures.
